Today HL hangout was really hot with lot of ideas, experience and words in general flowing in, actually joining the hangout for the first time and to be honest the topic drew my attention and I was like, it wont be bad learning from others users experience on how they hold their stand when they failed. The full topic is below.
IS FAILURE THE END?
To some people, they perceive failure as the end of it all but to others is means something else. What does the term failure mean to you? Do you have any situation or any point in life you have failed at something?
As at one point in life, we all have encounter the word failure or failed to achieve some certain things we set for ourselves, in general, Failure serve as a setback, a defeat that shouldn't serve as a discouragement but encouragement to do better or put in more efforts. I do wonder why people get cast down or depress when they fail, yes it might hurt or get so pained but at some point in life, we should always learn to see the good in bad. From the very beginning our parent brought us into this world, there are some things we need to face and learn from. If you see a baby, there will be a lot of effort applied before he or she can start to crawl, from crawling, the baby will make lot of attempt to stand up and walk but will fail yet keep retrying and not give up. Even in school, we got paired up with other kids and compete for positions, we failed but keep applying that effort and not give up.
Someone once told me, there are lot of event that are bound to happen in a man's life, failure is one of them, it shouldn't be the end but a learning ground. Even in school, we heard of theories and experiments, there are lot of theories which will failed when carried out, even all the inventors have failed at one point or the other but they keep applying that effort and not allow the failure to define who they are. I listened to most of the discussions and the one that caught my attention was @nkemakonam89 experience when she was a marketer and need to meet up with a target but she couldn't because she lost track, wasn't focus or determined and lost the work. Instead of accepting defeat, she had to sit down and give her life a meaningful review and also make amend which change her life for good. There are lot of people that might face what she faced and that will be the end of it, back to zero with no life review on the way forward.

Failure is bound to happen, the most vital part is how you deal with it. One of the things that make people more depressed when they fail is what I call external view. Allowing what people will say or think have big impact in our life is wrong, no matter what you do, you can never satisfy humans, because of this external view and impact, you will be scared to fail and once you fail, that might be the end because you will be so scared to pick yourself up and try again. Limit how you allow people to define who you are or weigh you down, you have your life to life.
